H. W. Doncaster was a member of the leading Northampton Polytechnic Institute gymnastics team. Unfortunately, he was not part of any their winning teams that carried off the Adams Shield as national team champions five times in the 1920s. He did, however, go to the 1920 Antwerpen Olympic Games as part of the Great Britain squad, but they finished a disappointing fifth, and last. Doncaster was later a leading member of the Orion Gymnastics Club.
